    Well here are the results from the second day at the track

    1st run .146 light green
    60' 1.676
    1/8TH 7.348
    MPH 94.88
    1/4 11.51
    MPH 116.56

    2nd run .075 light green
    60' 1.626
    1/8th 7.26
    mph 95.48
    1/4 11.40 time for the roll bar
    mph 117.47

    3rd run had to stay above 11.49 .083 red
    60' 1.672
    1/8th 7.49
    mph 92.61
    1/4 11.81
    mph 110.11 short shifted to slow down a little

    4th run competition run .003 red light :cry: :naughty:
    60' 1.662
    1/8th 7.427
    mph 91.45
    1/4 11.804
    mph 111.82 short shifted again

    Looks like I can settle in pretty easily at 11.8s somewere and be fairly consistant if I quit red lighting

    Just another day at the races :drive:

    A little video. Sorry for not getting more of the run, we had other video but it turned out real grainy and not worth watching.

    On first video with no smoke the car actually died when I started to do burnout and had to restart but it is the run that I got the 11.40 time

    Cool deal! I love the look of the little car. Its clean and just neat looking. And sounds like it runs pretty good too.

    Running 4.11s right now Jack, I have a new set up coming with some 4.00s should take a couple hundred rpms off at the top end. With the 4.11s running around 3,400 at 55mph


    You know I designed my car after yours but I am not going to be happy until I get the front tires off the ground as far as yours.

    Good runs!
    :thumbs2:

    They are starting to run here also, but the liquid sunshine is still keeping the opportunities "limited." But hope to make a few passes to see if the tranny mods hold up.
